BusGuide WP7 ver 1.4 now on marketplace

July 3rd, 2011 Adi

Version 1.4 of BusGuide WP7 is now up on marketplace. This version has an updated UI which I hope is cleaner and less confusing to use. There is also a new function, where you can edit the bus stops in your favourite list, and choose what buses is to be displayed or hidden, the next time you retrieve the bus arrival timing for that bus stop.

I’ve also made changes to how the bus timing is retrieved. Pressing the refresh button, will now only make a request to the IRIS APIs, if the timing information is more than 1 minute old. What this means is, pressing the refresh button multiple times, will not reload the new timing. This is to ensure that the SBS IRIS servers are not overwhelmed with requests from BusGuide.
